YugaDeals: Sapido DSL+3.5G Router & Torrent Client

Listen to article

Our deal for this week is a DSL and 3.5G WiFi-N router from Sapido that works as Torrent client, Printer Server, FTP Server, Webcam server and network storage — everything you’ll need for in a network at home.

Tried the router last week and been using it as a back-up router at home. You can connect it to your DSL router and plug in a 3G dongle so that when the DSL is down, it will dial up to 3G and connect you back within minutes.

As a torrent client, you can hook up a storage device in one of the 2 USB ports (like a portable HDD) and then upload a torrent tracker (via local web) and the router will then download the torrent file straight to the attached device.

Even if there are only 2 USB ports, you can also connect a USB hub so you can add more devices into the network — a printer, a webcam, a dongle and a storage device.

Check it out at YugaDeals.com.

Hmmm… after loading the torrent file, do i have to keep my laptop running also? That’s my current set-up now- both my wifi router and laptop were running 24/7 downloading torrents…

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 15 years ago

@wilde – nope, you can shut down the laptop. all that is running will be the router and the HDD attached to it.

Yuga,

can you recommend an “affordable” wifi/dsl router with CAPTIVE PORTAL capability, I’m planning on using one at the office para sa mga guest users, wherein I want to initially provide our company’s website before authenticating their internet access

Yup, you can leave it on 24/7. Mine’s been running for over a year now. The only times that the unit has been turned off is during brownouts ^^

Paired with a 32GB Flash Disk (For torrents).

I haven’t tried hooking it up with an external hard drive yet. The flash disk has been working fine for me.

Ano-ano po bang mga ISP yung pwedeng maghost ng server? Sa smartbro kasi di pwede. Within the same router ung isang area kaya same IP.

which is better, this one? or the previous sapido you reviewed (it’s smaller)?

luiboowee · 15 years ago

Can I answer?
1. It depends. If you’ll use it in a bigger house and you want a larger range, this one is better as the previous 3G wifi router doesn’t have an antenna.
2. Although I’m not sure with the difference, but this one is 3.5G and the previous one is 3G.
3. If you don’t want something bulky and fancy-looking, the previous one is better.

3.75G max nito hindi lang 3.5g accdg to the sapido website.
